GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) As the Arizona Cardinals training camp drags on, Tyrann Mathieu is looking more and more like his old "Honey Badger" self.

"There's been a bunch of it," coach Bruce Arians said before Thursday's practice. "He's got his hands on a lot of balls and just missed a couple, but until there's real bullets, we'll have to see it then."

It's a critical season for Mathieu, who when healthy is one of the best defensive players in the NFL. But staying healthy has been a problem. Last year, a shoulder injury landed him on injured reserve in late December.
